Support NeoGAF

[kame-sennin]

48) Christopher Hitchens
Crimes: First dead atheist to inspire such hagiographic dreck since Mother Teresa. Born British, died unmistakably American, having been so wooed by the “War on Terror” that he was sworn in by then DHS head Michael Chertoff. He was a pompous misogynist and warmonger who, above all else, loved the sound of his own voice. He palled around with comb-licking goon Paul Wolfowitz, advocated for Bush’s reelection, and clung to his scotch-soaked end that Saddam Hussein possessed WMD. With his undoubtedly elegant prose, Hitch provided more support to Islamophobes than a Lowe’s 2 x 4.
Smoking Gun: “Prison conditions at Abu Ghraib have improved markedly and dramatically since the arrival of Coalition troops in Baghdad.”
Sentence: Remembered accurately.

40) Anthony Weiner
Crimes: Doesn’t know how to properly Tweet, lie, tell the truth, or even philander. Weiner represents everything that’s wrong with the Democratic Party: the craven inability to act and the pathetic ability to fold under pressure. With one errant keystroke, he bestowed upon Andrew Breitbart a wholly unfounded air of credibility. And, you know, obsessively tweeting cock-pics to women he didn’t know.
Smoking Gun: “You know, I can’t say with certitude.”
Sentence: Andrew Breitbart’s wholly unfounded air of credibility.

25) Ayn Rand
Crimes: Despite being a long-dead idiot, Rand continues to exert a mystifying control over the minds of America’s Social Darwinist dolts with her misanthropic “philosophy” of unbridled greed. Selling more copies than any other ridiculous tome, save for the Bible, Rand’s ode to tautological soap opera dialogue Atlas Shrugged still plagues the nation’s pseudo-intellectual consciousness in our theaters and on our campuses. As is so often the case with the libertarian occultists, she was an incorrigible hypocrite who collected Medicare and Social Security. And, as a woman who said that a woman should never be president, I think it’s safe to say she was a total bitch.
Smoking Gun: Her favorite television program was “Charlie’s Angels.”
Sentence: Dug up, bones put on eBay; bidding war between Ron Paul, Paul Ryan, and Penn Jillette; proceeds used to lift dozens out of poverty.

21) Frank Miller
Crimes: The Stephenie Meyer of comic books, Miller has all the literary & political depth of a masturbating squirrel. His rampant Islamophobia and puerile fantasies of female gangs clad in thigh-high leather stilettos notwithstanding, Frank’s finally disabused the very thin notion that he’s not, in fact, a total retard. In a post on his Web site, he bravely defended — just like Batman would — the valiant oligarch-class from the villainous scourge of OWS by reminding us that 9/11 happened. And just when we’d all totally forgotten about it.
Aggravating Factor: “These [OWS] clowns can do nothing but harm America.”
Sentence: Dialogue inker for Dan Clowes.

11) John McCain
Crimes: Despite being alive for most of recorded history, McCain has learned absolutely nothing from it. Along with the Democratic Senator from Michigan Carl Levin, and much to the sadistic delight of Lindsay Graham, McCain coauthored the despicable National Defense Authorization Act which codifies the federal government’s authority to indefinitely detain Americans who’ve been accused of terrorism without trial. You got a joke for that? Yeah, me neither.
Smoking Gun: ”…it’s okay for us to send a predator, and fire, and kill that person…”
Sentence: Detained without trial and tortured.

[Jim E. Rossler]

The 50 most loathsome paragraphs you'll never read

 

[freenudemacusers]

Wow, the hate is strong with this one. Will either be a 1 page or 30 page thread.

 

[DarkKyo]

Went into the site looking for the Kochs. Was not surprised at all to see they are #1.

 

[Moppet13]

I don't sense a bit of bias in these paragraphs. Not at all.

 

[Jangocube]

Disagree with some, but overall it lists most of the assholes in this country. So yay I guess?

 

[catabarez]

Clearly we should all follow these words of wisdom.

 

[Dude Abides]

I thought these dumb lists of things were supposed to come out at the end of the year.

 

[Moppet13]

These are of 2011 bro.

 

[Speevy]

You can hear the child murderers fist-pumping at their non-inclusion.

Okay.

Close Tab again.

[12) Donald Trump
Crimes: Besotted by his own garish ignorance, The Donald stumbled into a depth of buffoonery last year which made Gary Busey seem respectably grounded. Like an awful P.T. Barnum with an unkempt raccoon on his head, everything from floating a presidential run, dabbling in birtherism, and trying to moderate a debate (that none of the Republicans were stupid enough to touch) was unadulterated self-promotion aimed at boosting ratings for NBC’s ode to capitalist douchebaggery “The Apprentice.”
Smoking Gun: “I have a great relationship with the blacks.”
Sentence: Dipped in gold, buried in Ron Paul’s backyard.

Sounds about right.

 

[Prez]

Obama is number 6...

 

[Hari Seldon]

Yeah cause Ayn Rand's bones are a more vile American than all of those child murderers.

Well, not on the first page. Keep looking.

Actually, you must have spelled it wrong. Or not gone to the source at all.

Also, I didn't realize Hitchens was dead. Other than that I didn't get much from skimming that... list.

 

[Dude Abides]

These are of 2011 bro.

Ayn Rand is one of the most loathsome people of 2011?

 

[Bombadil]

Totally agree about Ayn Rand. What an odious woman she was.

I'm pretty sure Kim is.

Glad to see Ayn Rand up there. That whole bitcoin business was terrible.

Sentence: Detained without trial and tortured.

You know, I'm not a fan of McCain but considering what he went through in Vietnam that's pretty disgusting.

 

[BobsRevenge]

eww

 

[Sol..]

child murderers.

 

[acheron_xl]

Obama is number 6...

And deservedly so. I agree wholeheartedly with their criticism.

 

[planar1280]

Christopher Hitchens is dead, cut him some slack.

[Invisible_Insane]

About as disgusting as him endorsing for president a candidate who criticizes Obama for not waterboarding terrorists?

 

[Gaborn]

Oh I agree that's disgusting. But this is one case when turnabout is NOT fair play. Pretty much all the others are fair game in terms of opinion but that one? with that history? Not going there.

I'm not trying to defend McCain, personally I would have made him worse than Obama on the list. But considering his history that "sentence" is not appropriate even as a joke.

 

[planar1280]

Obama should be in the list but not as high as 6. maybe 25-30

Some things that Bachmann and Santorum have said and done are much worse,

 

[Salmonax]

34) Michele Bachmann
Crimes: Protecting America from the gays by marrying them.

Heh.

 

[Something Wicked]

I love how hipsters try to half-bash a couple Dems just to maintain their "anti-establishment" street-cred.

 

[alex chilton]

STop using that word!!!!!

Sounds like a personal problem, brah

 

[shadyspace]

I didn't know Buffalo Beast was still around. Stopped following them when they ceased publishing their print edition.

 

[Stumpokapow]

You know, I'm not a fan of McCain but considering what he went through in Vietnam that's pretty disgusting.

They wish cervical cancer on Bachmann, it's intended to be read as polemic (you know, like, "a pox on <xyz>")

 

[SUPREME1]

You know, I'm not a fan of McCain but considering what he went through in Vietnam that's pretty disgusting.

More disgusting than him authoring a bill that makes it legal for American citizens to be held indefinitely without trial?

Fuck him.

 

[Gaborn]

They wish cervical cancer on Bachmann, it's intended to be read as polemic (you know, like, "a pox on <xyz>")

I understand that, and considering Bachmann's position on the HPV vaccine it works as humor. Considering McCain's history in Vietnam and what he ACTUALLY went through it's a lot less funny.

It would be like wishing for Laura Bush say to get drunk again and kill herself this time. Considering what happened with her in college that isn't funny.

 

[Rentahamster]

Naw, not Hitchens. Dude was a master of the English language.

 

[shadyspace]

1) David (and Charles) Koch

Sentence: The plot of that Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd movie Trading Places.

:lol

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Christopher Hitchens is dead, cut him some slack.

Serious post?

 

[Hellcrow]

Such a fun list!

Railing on murderers and rapists is easy. Politicians and business people harm a much larger population, and they can be suprisingly loathsome.

 

[Stealth Editor]

Everyone who has money is evil!

 

[ToxicAdam]

Kind of weird how Kim Kardashian has so quickly supplanted Paris Hilton as shorthand for trashy, psuedo-celebrity culture.

Really, most of those kind of people should represent the top 20.

 

[bsb]

I always enjoy this list. Takes the lazy bastards forever to put it out though.

I noticed they didn't include "You" on the list this year though. I'm pretty sure "You" is on all the past years. Is no tradition sacred??

 

[KittenMaster]

I read the four paragraphs in the op in Tim Curry's voice, as per his appearance on Psych as the judge for American Duos.

I can't be the only one that thought of it that way.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

at least I can jerk off to kim kardashian

 

[Escape Goat]

 

[ErasureAcer]

That war a great list. I've bookmarked it for whenever I need a laugh. Thanks for posting. Somehow that Sarah Palin "park your car on the side of the freeway" missed my radar. Ahahaha...WTF?

 

[VALIS]

Pretty good read, actually. Can't argue with most of the inclusions.

 

[kame-sennin]

You can hear the child murderers fist-pumping at their non-inclusion.

child murderers.

Is this a reference to something specific, or are people just pointing out that murderers are more loathsome than Frank Miller?

 

[Bombadil]

Ayn Rand is one of the most loathsome people of 2011?

Her ideology is pervasive among the Republicans and Libertarians. It's more relevant to hate her today than when she was alive, all things considered.
